Mariska Veres, the sultry Dutch vocalist famous for the 1970 hit "Venus" with her band Shocking Blue, has died of cancer.

Mariska was 1 of the best looking Rock Chicks in the business, in 1970...& a pretty good vocalist, too.

In a lotta ways...she was kinda like Europe's answer to Grace Slick, circa '67.

Just remember...Time Waits for No One.

Too bad. Shocking Blue is a great band with more great songs other than just Venus. I have 3 of their albums.
